Blandford Forum Town Council would like to invite Blandford Forum-based groups and organisations to take part in the seventhCommunity Expo, enabling you to promote and explain what you do to the public. This year, we have decided to merge ‘Well & Connected’ with the Community Expo which is a great chance to showcase all the wonderful community groups who work tirelessly to make our local community so active and vibrant.
Details of the Expo will be included in the Town Council newsletter sent to every property in the town. It will also be advertised in the August edition of the Forum Focus, on the Town Council website, Facebook page and notice boards. Organisations and groups can also carry out their own advertising to maximise attendance. An electronic copy of the public poster is attached, but if you would like printed versions then please contact us and we will have them ready for you to collect from the Council offices.
If you would like to network or advertise what you do to the people of Blandford Forum or simply recruit new members, then book a space (free of charge) and return the slip overleaf by Wednesday 29th August2018.A table and chair(s) will be provided, wifi is available and groups can set up from 9am. The size of the space allocated will be confirmed once numbers are known, but please note due to the event’s popularity in previous years it is likely that one large table may have to be shared, therefore please bear this in mind when planning your display.
Please indicate on the slip if you wish to be sited against the wall (if you have a certain type of display), or next to a particular organisation and we will endeavour to accommodate your request, although this is not guaranteed and we will allocate on a first come, first served basis.
